Program adherence and effectiveness of a commercial nutrition
program: The metabolic balance study
Objective:
The objective of the study was to assess the effectiveness of a commercial
nutrition program in improving weight, blood lipids, and health-related quality of life
(HRQOL).
Methods:
A prospective observational study with follow-up after 1, 3, 6, and 12 months
with data from questionnaires and blood samples was conducted.
Subjects:
After 12 months, we had data from 524 subjects (60.6% of the initial samples).
Majority (84.1%) of the subjects were women. The average BMI at baseline was 30.3
(SD = 5.7).
Results:
After 12 months, the average weight loss was 6.8 kg (SD=7.1kg). Program
adherence declined over time but was still high after 12 months and showed a positive
linear correlation with weight loss. Relevant blood parameters as well as HRQOL
improved significantly.
Conclusion:
After 12 months, nearly two thirds of the samples had achieved >5%
reduction of their initial weights. The high degree of program adherence is probably
due to personal counseling and individually designed nutrition plans provided by the
program.
